tion switch in the LOCK position. When pushing
the ignition switch to the ACC or ON position, the
system will be released.

ing alarm:

without using the button on the Intelligent
Key, the door handle request switch or the
mechanical key. (Even if the door is opened
by releasing the door inside lock knob, the
alarm will activate.)
c Opening the hood.
How to stop an activated alarm
